Digital camera reviews of Epson Perfection 4490 Photo Scanner
Digital camera Review: Works Better Than I Would Have Thought Possible!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was going to buy one of the 100 dollar Sharper Image/ Hammacher-Schlemer type single slide scanners but after checking around on the web decided to go with the Epson 4490. It honestly works better than I would have thought possible.
Speed is not bad, images are great, setup went well. I have scanned about 100 slides without a hitch so far. I guess I should have written this review after scanning the thousand slides that I eventually have to do but so far I must say that I couldn't be happier.
For the price, this unit works great.
